I find it surprising that the Android system can't do this natively. It's built into the iPhone (although it's not intuitive or discoverable and possibly not programmable). That said, the solution Renas provides in that thread is straightforward and easy. I'll keep that as a snippet.
Following on your point in that thread, doing direct screen-shot comparison between "expected" and "actual" will rarely match in any environment. For this case it will absolutely *not* match because (1) the compression is JPEG and (2) Android adapts display layout for the device (and I'm not sure this is determinate). For testing you need to have some tolerance of difference between the screen shots. In my experience, I've found this is the kind of thing that humans are much better at than computers. We can easily see if the screen is "right" and whether it "makes sense". Computers, at best, can tell us that there is some amount of "difference". -- Jeremy Wadsack On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 8:24 AM, Fabrizio Giudici < [email protected]> wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 9/9/10 16:20 , Lidia G wrote: > > Thank you > > > Have a look at this thread: > > > http://groups.google.com/group/robotium-developers/browse_thread/thread/c5cf28ef88918d7d/38a80fd483c114df?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Need+help+to+take+screen+shot#38a80fd483c114df > > - -- > Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager > Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
